mathjax IS postprocessing via scripting. And better is extremely 
dubious as it is unreliable and slow for the end user...

My method of automatic server-side image replacement gives fast, 
consistent results to the reader, while being equally simple to 
write for the author. It also has the advantage of working 
offline, which is a major point for my docs because I like to use 
them while on airplanes and such.

I'm aware of these other options. I also considered generating 
MathML or SVG and decided on png because it gives the best 
balance of benefits - a small image file that works everywhere 
(including offline), though doesn't scale font sizes or respond 
to other css instructions as well as the others, I deemed those 
to be less important overall than actually displaying correctly 
by default on a wide variety of devices without a massive 
download.
